...moment offset the unpopularity of his tax proposal. But the ephemeral drift of public opinion and other obstacles seem to matter little to the Governor. In three months in office he has marched without hesitation into every political minefield in sight. He has promised to "dismantle" Chicago Mayor Richard Daley's Democratic machine. He has set out to overhaul the state's fiscal program, and in his spare time to reorganize the state Republican party...
...fight with Daley falls somewhat short of total war. When Daley asked for National Guard troops this month to contain disturbances on the eve of the anniversary of Martin Luther King's death, Ogilvie began moving some 5,000 soldiers within 14 minutes. But that concordat between the old rivals was a rare thing. The Governor is pushing through a stiff anti-fraud voting law aimed at the kind of ballot-box finagling for which Cook County is famous. Another Ogilvie-backed bill would make Chicago's mayoralty election nonpartisan; when candidates must run without official party labels...
Along Chicago's West Side, gangs of black teenagers surged out of schoolyards on the anniversary eve to attack cars, loot stores and hurl bricks at policemen. It looked like the prelude to a repetition of last April's anarchy.

The Review is edited by Daily News Education Reporter Henry De Zutter, Sun-Times Urban Affairs Specialist Christopher Chandler and American Education Reporter Ron Dorfman. All three contend that their careers are still prospering...
Discussing coverage of the convention disorders, the Review noted approvingly that editors "nervously let their reporters set down uncomplimentary facts about the police and the mayor." But post-conventian coverage was something else. After out-of-town newsmen left Chicago, the Review claimed, "Mayor Daley was permitted to take over the media. Our own editorialists told us that we didn't really see what we saw under those blue helmets." The Review charged that the American had interviewed Police Superintendent James B. Conlisk about the disorders, then let him edit the resulting story...
